WHATEVER the weather, a stalwart band of ladies has turned out every year in the Chatburn area to sell fund­ raising poppies for the Royal British Legion. Now, with an amazing total

THE bus stop in Accrington Road, Whalley, should not be moved to the other Side of the junction with Sydney Avenue, the parish council has recom­ mended. ' Members were asked for

School, the entertainment included music from Balder- stone 1 Brass Band and folk songs by an ex-CRGS pupil, Roger Westbrook. Roger, a former member of

ser.vice; assisted by the priest- in-charge at Pendleton, the Revi John Cole. "Guide me, O thou great Jehovah” was chosen as a suitable hymn.


Among the pilgrims .'were


old Sunday School pupils from the Jollie Chapel, one of whom was 80-year-old Mrs Nellie Dugdale, widow of. the former Clitheroe Mayor and “Adver­ tiser and Times’,' editor Aid. Frank Dugdale.


; It was at a 1917 pilgrimage to the same spot that Mrs Dugdale met her husband, who , was reporting on the event for the old “Clitheroe Times.” ■ Also there on Sunday were


the Jollie Chapel’s oldest member, 81-year-old Mrs Thlirso Smith, and the Rev. Harry Walton, a former Student priest at Pendleton. Mr Walton, now retired and living at Leyland, was making his first outing after a recent heart attack. A f te r tea at Pendleton


Village Hall, provided by ladies of the Barrow Chapel, the pilgrims went on to All Saints’ Church for a united service conducted by Mr Cole,


,assisted by Mr Salsbury. Lessons were read by Pendle­ ton churchwarden Mr Richard Collinge and Jollie Chapel secretary Mr Fred McNab.


delays PROBLEMS in finding sites are holding up progress on three factories to be built in local villages by the Govern­ ment’s Development Commis­ sion.


■ According to Ribble Valley Chief Architect and Planning Officer Mr Charles Wilson, two 2,000 -sq. ft. units at Gisburn are being delayed by problems with sewage and roads for potential sites. But no suitable site had yet


been agreed for a 2,500 sqi ft. unit planned for Chipping, he added. Once the Ribble Valley


Council had allocated sites for the factories, the Develop­ ment Commission would build them and lease them out, said Mr Wilson. He added that the council


was anxious to.make progress with the projects because two further 2,000 sq. ft. units — which the Commission was p r ep a red to allocate to Gisburn— depended on the successful development and occupation of the first lot of factories.


For guests


THERE were 25 hotels or ■boarding houses in the Ribble Valley at the time of the 1971 census, with a total of 360 rooms, employing 80 people. Blackpool district, by contrast had 2,055 .establishments, with 32,120 rooms.


HOT POT AND FOLK SONGS


North-West Water Authority, is for a site by Langden Brook, two miles along the Trough road from Dunsop Brid ge, and is aimed at putting an end to indiscrimi­ nate roadside parking nearby. The site would contain


parking space for 40 cars, timber tables and benches and t o i l e t s , and would be approached by a ford over the brook: . Both the Bowland branch of


the Ramblers Association and an Ashton-on-Ribble teacher, Mr Ian Brodie, have lodged objections to the scheme with the Ribble Valley Council.' Mr Brodie, of Inskip, near


Preston, says “ except for peripheral country parks, there should be no such devel­ opment in wild areas." ■ The site is in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, where the landscape is meant to be protected, adds Mr Brodie. He believes the scheme would create demand for extra facilities, which would inevitably alter the character of the area. The Ribble Valley Develop­


ment Sub-Committee will give its decision on the plan when it meets on October 12th. Chief Assistant Planning


Officer Mr Peter Johnston told the A d v e r t is e r and Times: “The object of the plan is to remove the indiscrimi­ nate roadside parking taking p la ce in the Trough o f Bowland at the moment. But the objectors have raised some fairly valid points which the committee will no doubt consider carefully." The Water Authority hoped


to complete its work on the site by next April, added Mr Johnston. Permanent toilets were to be added by the Ribble Valley Council at a later date, and the County Council would also place boul­ ders and logs to stop roadside parking in the vicinity. The Water Authority has


set aside £25,000 for the scheme.
